I cannot speak for states other than Texas on this, but it would be logical if others handle it the same way. In Texas, an attempted crime is one grade lower than if the crime had been committed. For example, if you attempt a first degree felony, it is classified as a second degree felony. If you attempt a second degree felony, it is classified as a third degree felony, and so on.
They are probably sentenced to prison.
Attempted what?. In general attempted offenses are punishable one degree lower than the completed offense, so if you attempt a first degree felony, it is a second degree felony, etc.
The answer is in the Texas Health and Safety Code, Section 481.115(d). Possession of methamphetamine (a Penalty Group 1 substance) is a second degree felony. The Texas Penal Code, Section 12.33 says punishment for a second degree felony ranges from 2-20 years in prison and a fine of not more than $10,000. However, under the Penal Code, Section 12.42, a second conviction is "enhanced" by a previous conviction. If the previous conviction was also a second degree felony, then the second conviction is eligible to be enhanced to a first degree felony which ranges in punishment from 5-99 years in prison and a fine of not more than $10,000.
Only if it is allowed by the judge who originally sentenced you AND if the state of Texas will accept the reponsibility for monitoring and supervising your probation. Start with the court that sentenced you and get that question answered first.
